Hey, We’re Married!!!

Nancy Pelosi wants to pass ObamaCare without a vote, so why can’t McCain and Lieberman force us into a shotgun wedding?*

“It might be well if our friends in the administration and other places in the United States could start refocusing our efforts on the peace process,” Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., said Monday. “Now we’ve had our spat. We’ve had our family fight, and it’s time for us now to stop and get our eye back on the goal, which is the commencement of the Israeli-Palestinian peace talks,” he said.

McCain and Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., both urged the administration to ease the tone of the dispute, which they said was demonstrating disunity and weakness to steadfast allies of Iran. “Let’s cut the family fighting, the family feud,” Lieberman said. “It’s unnecessary; it’s destructive of our shared national interest. It’s time to lower voices, to get over the family feud between the U.S. and Israel. It just doesn’t serve anybody’s interests but our enemies.”

*[Required FBI Notice: the word “shotgun” appears in this post merely as part of a colloquial phrase in the vernacular that refers to a marriage forced upon at least one unwilling partner. The writer intends no violence to any politician, named or unnamed, unless defeat at the polls is interpreted as “violence” and not the democratic demonstration of the will of the voters, blah blah blah. If you pass this post on to the TSA, I request that you include this disclaimer, along with the assurance that, as a Catholic, I oppose all violence, and pray for even the most pestiferous (that’s Aquinas, Joe!) of our politicians.]

P.S. Hey, senators — Need a marriage counselor? I think Hillary is available.
